• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Securing files by passwords...How secure?

    Anyone use timebomb.it to send passwords?

    that's called steganography. so long as it's out of band, it's all good. generally accepted methods are email, verbally over the telephone, via sms, or if you use blackberry devices then there is the send PIN function. the general rule of thumb being send the username/password separately...

    Cisco's 3 layer network model - Do I need it?

    to the best of my knowledge we've never experienced any issues with the vss, maybe we have been lucky - i couldn't say, but it works well for us. in terms of the 3750's, anything of any business criticality tends to be run within the blade/flex10 environment - either dedicated or virtualised...

    Cisco's 3 layer network model - Do I need it?

    within the data centre we run a pair of 6500's in a vss, with 4x 10gbe vsl's between them for our core. each cab (approximately 40) has a pair of 3750 switches (stacked) installed. each stack is connected to the core with a 2gbe trunk. everything here is fibre. blade centres are connected...

    dns question.

    So if I were configuring a Windows DNS Server and I had a zone called example.com, what record within the zone do I need to create to point it at 1.2.3.4 such that I can create a CNAME of said record for www? I.e. How do I create the @ record? (I'm only used to seeing things like A, MX, CNAME...

    dns question.

    say you have a website at www.example.com, which is also accessible via just example.com. i'm assuming this is achieved via dns, but i don't know what the record is called that you would create? i assume it's essentially an a record, but more of a wildcard default for the domain? if i was...

    Management Wants Internet Filtering - Options?

    do you have any budget for this? whats the projected growth of the company, in terms of extra people? do you have laptops that roam between the internal lan and cafes/airports/hotels/homes? i would be tempted to suggest using a cloud provider such as webroot, et al for this.

    efficient imaging software thats fast and bootable

    I've just started at a new place. They PXE boot devices and use SCCM to perform a zero-touch install of Windows 7, all drivers, hotfixes, and base level applications (Office, AV, etc). Works really well. Haven't been a fan of traditional 'imaging' tools for a long time, too many client/server...
